Hey guys,

I found a ribset for a schnellboot, however i do not believe i have the proper software to flip / duplicate them on my computer. Would someone mind doing it for me? PM me your email address if so, thanks.

Well i guess since Ron replied first i'll send them to him, but thanks for the offer anyways Andy. Are either of you any good at resizing something? I need plans at 1/144 (luckily they fit on 1 normal piece of paper)

... i believe the ship set is at 1/138, im not sure of the ribset.

Ah, he beat me by two minutes! Still, his Iron Duke is going to beat my Dreadnought to the water by about two years, so I must be getting faster!

haha, i'm sure he's also got more experience.... and no offense to Ron but probably more time.

If you want to try your hand at scaling i can send you the sketches...

At 1/144 what is suposed to be the width of this vessel kenny. got your e-mail.

well according to my sources,
Dimensions
Size (Max): 110 t
Length (Total): 34,94 m
Length (Waterline):
Beam: 5,28 m
Draft: 1,8 m

so lets see here.... hope my math is right. 5.28 meters is 17.322834645669293 feet. divided by 144 is .12029747 feet.... is 1.44356964 inches?

So lets say 1.45 inches .... so for you thats what, 3.683 CM?

Wow.... this thing is gonna be impossible! haha, but it'll be fun to pull out even if it doesn't run....

wow, i'm an idiot. i just realized i could have gone from meters to centimeters, then to inches...but i guess i wasn't thinking you were metric at the time.

hope the math is right tho!

Could've converted it right off the bat in metres

kennylibben · Post by **kennylibben** » Wed Apr 04, 2007 7:55 pm

well i said that...

but i originally converted to imperial because thats how i'll be measuring it once its printed off.

kennylibben · Post by **kennylibben** » Wed Apr 04, 2007 7:56 pm

on a side note, its ironic how the "arsenal of democracy" uses imperial and all the old empires use metric.

Hey,
